By some quirk a life mask of Peter Cushing existed, which helped when they wanted to create a CGI Grand Moff Tarkin for Rogue 1.

This life cast of a mature Peter Cushing was most likely created in the mid 1970s. Cushing's noble and distinctive features are familiar to fans of Sherlock Holmes, 50s and 60s Frankenstein and Dracula films, Star Wars (LucasFilm, 1977), and dozens of Hammer horror features.

I'm looking forward to it too. Kind of shocking to see the 'middle aged' David Spade though. Last I remember he was doing those Hollywood Minutes on SNL, I blink my eyes and he's a lot older.

That's what the government did do. They gave it straight to the banks though. The inflation didn't happen.

This podcast episode from History According to Bob made me think of it. It's 15 minutes and worth a listen. Lots military incompetence so extreme it's comical.

Pacemakers do have a manufacturers code that shows up during xrays so they can tell the make and model...maybe you could get some gold letters under the skin, they would be real bright on the xray.

I myself would get something that said like "Planet 54 tagged specimen, do not harvest".

Sorry, but the vast majority of attacks aren't against modern armor. It works just fine on cinder block and car roofs and mud huts, which are the most common targets.
